Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a magnesium carrier in-situ supported non-metallocene catalyst, its preparation method and application. Specifically, the present application relates to a method for in-situ supporting non-metallocene catalyst on a magnesium compound carrier to obtain a supported non-metallocene catalyst, and its application in olefin homopolymerization / copolymerization. BACKGROUND

[0002] Non-metallocene catalysts do not contain cyclopentadienyl groups, and the coordination atoms are oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus. The characteristic is that the central ion has strong electrophilicity, and has a cis-alkyl or halogen metal center structure, which is easy to carry out olefin insertion and σ-bond transfer, and the central metal is easy to be alkylated, which is conducive to the generation of cationic active center; the formed complex has a defined geometric configuration, and the stereoselectivity, electronegativity and chirality can be adjusted. In addition, the metal-carbon bond formed is easy to polarize, which is conducive to the polymerization of olefins. Therefore, even at a relatively high polymerization reaction temperature, a high molecular weight olefin polymer can be obtained.

[0003] However, the homogeneous olefin polymerization catalyst has been proved to have the disadvantages of short activity duration, easy to stick to the kettle, high methylaluminoxane consumption, and too low or too high molecular weight of the obtained polymer, which seriously limits its industrial application.

[0004] The olefin homopolymerization / copolymerization catalyst or catalyst system prepared in patents ZL01126323.7, ZL02151294.9 and ZL02110844.7 has a wide range of olefin homopolymerization / copolymerization performance and is suitable for various forms of polymerization processes. However, a higher amount of cocatalyst is required for the catalyst or catalyst system disclosed in the patents to obtain suitable olefin polymerization activity, and there is a phenomenon of sticking to the kettle during polymerization.

[0005] The common practice is to prepare a supported catalyst by certain loading technology of non-metallocene catalyst, so as to improve the polymerization performance of olefins and the particle morphology of the obtained polymer. It is shown that the initial activity of the catalyst is appropriately reduced to a certain extent, the polymerization activity life of the catalyst is prolonged, the caking or violent polymerization phenomenon during polymerization is reduced or even avoided, the morphology of the polymer is improved, and the apparent density of the polymer is increased, so that it can meet more polymerization processes, such as gas phase polymerization or slurry polymerization, etc.

[0006] For the non-metallocene catalysts disclosed in patents ZL01126323.7, ZL02151294.9, ZL02110844.7 and WO03 / 010207, patents CN1539855A, CN1539856A, CN1789291A, CN1789292A, CN1789290A, WO / 2006 / 063501, CN200510119401.X, etc. adopt various ways to load to obtain supported non-metallocene catalysts, but these patents all involve loading non-metallocene organic compounds containing transition metals (or called non-metallocene catalysts, or non-metallocene complexes) on the treated carrier, either the loading amount of non-metallocene catalysts is low, or the combination of non-metallocene catalysts with the carrier is not very tight.

[0007] Although the silica gel carrier or the composite carrier containing silica gel is used as the carrier of the non-metallocene catalyst, the polymer with good particle morphology can be obtained by polymerization, and the particle size distribution of the polymer can be controlled, but the polymerization activity of the catalyst is low, and since the silica gel is contained in the ash, the application range of the polymer is limited.

[0008] Chinese patent CN200910210990.0 discloses a preparation method of a supported non-metallocene catalyst, comprising the following steps: a step of dissolving a magnesium compound and a non-metallocene ligand in a solvent in the presence of an alcohol to obtain a magnesium compound solution; a step of adding a precipitating agent to the magnesium compound solution to obtain a modified carrier; and a step of treating the modified carrier with a chemical treatment agent selected from a group IVB metal compound to obtain the supported non-metallocene catalyst. According to the disclosure, the introduced alcohol only acts as a cosolvent for the magnesium compound and the non-metallocene ligand, and is then removed by drying during the drying process.

[0009] Chinese patent CN201710814591.X discloses a preparation method of a supported non-metallocene catalyst, comprising the following steps: a step of dissolving a magnesium compound in a solvent in the presence of an alcohol to obtain a magnesium compound solution; a step of drying the magnesium compound solution, or adding a precipitating agent to the magnesium compound solution to obtain a magnesium carrier, wherein the content of the alcohol in the magnesium carrier is 3.0-5.0 wt%, preferably 3.5-4.5 wt%; a step of treating the magnesium carrier with a non-metallocene ligand to obtain a modified carrier; and a step of treating the modified carrier with a chemical treatment agent selected from a group IVB metal compound to obtain the supported non-metallocene catalyst. It adopts two-step treatment of the non-metallocene ligand and the chemical treatment agent, and the preparation process is relatively complex.

[0010] The problem of the supported non-metallocene catalysts in the prior art is that the olefin polymerization activity is low, and in order to improve the activity, a high amount of cocatalyst is necessary. Moreover, the prior art uses silica gel or the like as a support carrier, and thus the polymers obtained by polymerization have a high ash content, which limits the practical use of the polymers. The catalysts supported by magnesium compounds also limit the substantial improvement of the catalyst activity due to the heterogeneous composition and distribution formed during the preparation process.

[0011] Therefore, the current situation is that there is still a need for a supported non-metallocene catalyst which has a simple preparation method, is suitable for industrial production, and can overcome the problems of the supported non-metallocene catalysts in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0012] The present inventors have found, based on the prior art, through catalyst preparation research, polymerization tests and performance analysis, that the use of the supported non-metallocene catalyst prepared by the preparation method of the present application can well solve the aforementioned problems, thereby completing the present application.

[0013] In the preparation method of the supported non-metallocene catalyst of the present application, no proton donor (such as those conventionally used in the art) is added. In addition, in the preparation method of the supported non-metallocene catalyst of the present application, no electron donor (such as the single ester, double ester, diether, diketone and diol ester compounds conventionally used for this purpose in the art) is added, and no ether solvent such as tetrahydrofuran is used in the preparation process. Furthermore, in the preparation method of the supported non-metallocene catalyst of the present application, no harsh reaction requirements and reaction conditions are necessary. Therefore, the preparation method of the supported catalyst is simple and is very suitable for industrial production.

[0014] Specifically, the present application relates to a preparation method of a magnesium carrier in-situ supported non-metallocene catalyst, comprising the following steps:

[0015] dissolving the magnesium compound in alcohol, adding a dilution solvent, mixing and drying to obtain a magnesium carrier, wherein the content of alcohol in the magnesium carrier is 1.0-3.0 wt%, preferably 1.2-2.5 wt%, more preferably 1.5-2.0 wt% relative to the weight of the magnesium carrier; adding alkyl aluminum to the magnesium carrier for reaction, and filtering to obtain a magnesium aluminum carrier; treating the magnesium aluminum carrier with a non-metallocene ligand and a chemical treatment agent selected from a group IVB metal compound at -40-10°C, preferably -20-0°C, to obtain a magnesium carrier in-situ supported non-metallocene catalyst.

[0016] The present application also relates to the magnesium carrier in-situ supported non-metallocene catalyst prepared by the preparation method, and the use thereof in the homopolymerization / copolymerization of olefins.

[0017] Technical effects

[0018] The in-situ preparation method of the magnesium carrier in-situ supported non-metallocene catalyst is simple and feasible, the non-metallocene ligand is uniformly distributed in the magnesium carrier, and the loading amount of the non-metallocene ligand can be adjusted.

[0019] The magnesium carrier in-situ supported non-metallocene catalyst prepared by the method has a significant copolymerization effect, that is, the copolymerization activity of the catalyst is higher than the homopolymerization activity, and the copolymerization reaction can improve the bulk density of the polymer, that is, improve the particle morphology of the polymer.

[0020] Under the homopolymerization reaction condition without hydrogen, the magnesium carrier in-situ supported non-metallocene catalyst provided by the method can be used to polymerize to obtain ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene with high molecular weight.

[0021] In addition, the magnesium carrier in-situ supported non-metallocene catalyst provided by the method is used to polymerize to obtain a polymer with fine average particle size, uniform distribution and low fine powder content. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0264]

[0265] The comparison of the effects of No.1 and No.3 in Table 1 shows that the copolymerization effect of the catalyst is remarkable, i.e. the copolymerization activity of the catalyst is higher than the homopolymerization activity, and the copolymerization reaction can improve the bulk density of the polymer, i.e. the particle morphology of the polymer is improved.

[0266] The comparison of the effects of No.1 and No.2 in Table 1 shows that the polymerization performance obtained under the conditions of the molar ratio of the cocatalyst to the active metal of the catalyst of 40 and 100 is equivalent, thus indicating that the catalyst provided by the present application requires less cocatalyst when used for olefin polymerization.

[0267] The comparison of the effects of No.1 and No.3 in Table 1 shows that the copolymerization effect of the catalyst is remarkable, i.e. the copolymerization activity of the catalyst is higher than the homopolymerization activity, and the copolymerization reaction can improve the bulk density of the polymer, i.e. the particle morphology of the polymer is improved. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the polymer obtained by using the in-situ supported non-metallocene catalyst provided by the present application has a fine average particle size and uniform distribution.

[0268] The comparison of No.1 and No.11, No.12 in Table 1, and No.1 and No.7, No.8 in Table 2 shows that too low or too high alcohol content in the magnesium carrier can result in reduced polymerization activity and bulk density of the polymer, and increased content of fine powder; when preparing ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, the polymerization activity, bulk density of the polymer, and viscosity average molecular weight of the polymer are all reduced.
